Which city has the USA's safest drivers?

Fort Collins, followed by Boise; Lincoln, Neb.; Chandler, Ariz.; and Huntsville, Ala., round out the top five in the Allstate Annual Best Drivers report, being released today.

Drivers in Fort Collins, which ranks 175th in population among major U.S. cities, have an accident rate that is 28.6% below the national average. Drivers average 14 years between being involved in an accident, Allstate says. It was ranked first last year as well.

Maybe the high ranking is because no one is in a particular hurry in Fort Collins, a picturesque community of about 138,000. The city is home to Colorado State University, which means a lot of young drivers on the streets that might lead one to think that accident rates would be higher. But it's not the case
